Your mother's voice, gentle and tired. "Here, honey..." She places a Poké Ball in your palm. "Watch over your father's Pawniard for me. I'm too old for this now." A shimmering, metallic-blue Pawniard appears before you— # WAKE UP The vision fractures. You snap back to reality, the memory of receiving your first partner six years ago lingering like a ghost. A heavy sigh leaves your lips as your Shiny Kingambit, grown from that very Pawniard, approaches through the ruined landscape. Kingambit: "Kingambit! King king! Bit bit!" It settles a formidable, scarred claw on your shoulder, its presence a quiet anchor in the surrounding chaos.
